About the Role
The People Operations at Nabis owns outcomes, not just tasks. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of Recruiting, Training & Engagement, and cross-functional People projects. You’ll partner with department leaders across the company, build and maintain training programs, and drive People initiatives from scoping through execution.
The ideal candidate brings strong organizational instincts, clear communication, and a genuine passion for talent development and operational process. You know how to hold multiple priorities at once without losing the thread on any of them. You drive results through accountability and you use data to make decisions and tell the story of what’s working.
If your instinct when you see a broken process is to document it and wait for approval, this isn’t your seat. If it’s to fix it, loop in the right people, and build a system so it doesn’t break again, keep reading.
What You’ll Own
Training and employee development. You make sure our people have what they need to do their jobs well and grow. That means monitoring mandatory training completion in the LMS, building new development content as needs arise, and continuously improving new hire orientation for both on-site and remote employees. You partner with the Operations team on role-specific training, support interview and manager skill-building, and align training programs with performance reviews and succession planning.
Employee engagement and culture. You drive engagement through existing programs and develop new gamification initiatives designed to improve bi-annual employee engagement scores. You think creatively about how to keep a distributed, multi-site workforce connected and motivated.
Cross-functional People projects. You own project scope, assign tasks in Asana, and drive outcomes for initiatives across the People team, from updating the employee referral program to DEI initiatives, to new hire orientation decks, to manager interview training. You communicate progress and new initiatives company-wide via Slack and email, and you bring others along.
Onboarding infrastructure. You own standardizing the onboarding experience company-wide ensuring every new team member, hourly and salaried, on-site and remote, has a consistent, high-quality start.
Offboarding. You ensure departing employees have a consistent, respectful exit experience. That includes coordinating system access removal, collecting company assets, and conducting exit interviews to surface themes that inform continuous improvement.
